Primary reason

Since Jurdan's last recognition, he has blitzed the competition and done a crapload of things.

Jurdan has organised 9 competitions, and participated in 103! He has placed in 30 of those, earning 30 Crescents of varying levels. In addition to this, Jurdan has earned 1,070 Clusters of Fire, 472 Clusters of Earth and 2 Pendants of Blood for his gaming activity. Jurdan has also kept Empire at War from being removed from the available games to play, by his sheer love for this ancient game. He's always pestering me to join a game, just so he can roflstomp me to the kerb!

In addition to this, Jurdan has earned 25 Clusters of Ice for the 9,500 words he has written, along with the additional ones he'll earn from his currently running event, Pirates of the Aeotheran. Jurdan has also garnered 29 Clusters of Graphite, being a keen artist. His skills have certainly improved over the years I've known of him.

Jurdan has also served as Battleteam Leader in House Excidium of Scholae Palatinae before joining us as Aedile of Shar Dakhan. He has settled in quickly and shown himself to be a fantastic addition to our team. His need to prove himself, his drive to succeed and the love he has for the club is clear. Jurdan really enjoys his time spent here, which is a great thing to see.

Despite coming in halfway through Week 1 of our recent co-op event with Tarentum, New Ties, Jurdan rallied and participated in every competition possible in order to win 1st place. The guy is a clear powerhouse when it comes to getting competition entries in and I am incredibly proud of him.

While settling in quickly into his new role, Jurdan has taken the time to learn how we do things in Naga Sadow and has been given the chance to run an event, Pirates of the Aeotheran. He has also sat down with myself and spoken to me about his goals and what he wants to achieve in the role.

Jurdan is one of those members, just like his colleague, Aexod, who are extremely competitive. At times in the past, it has affected relationships with other members. I've found that despite only recently joining us, Jurdan has been making an effort to move away from that and while staying competitive in terms of wanting to do his best, he has tried to be a better person.

I'm pleased for Jurdan, I'm extremely happy for him to get this reward and I'm grateful that he decided to give it a chance in Naga Sadow.

Well done, Jurdan on all of your hard work!

Consul of Naga Sadow

Additional reasons

Jurdan is the perfect addition to Clan Naga Sadow, and I am grateful to him for applying for the position of Aedile of Shar Dakhan. Since joining, he has been on an activity spree, whether it be his personal activity or House management.

The quality I admire most in Jurdan is the speed at which he handles tasks provided to him. A lot of this cannot be quantifiable, as there is no written record of it, but since joining I have not had to wait more than 24 hours for anything House related that I have asked from him, whether it be member evaluation, brainstorming for ideas about competitions and events, or creating said events singlehandedly.

In the past month, Jurdan has managed to snatch first place overall in our joint event with Clan Tarentum, organize a House event singlehandedly (graphics, storyline, competitions and all), and holds a top-five spot in the quarterly GMRG leaderboards.

For this reason, and so much more, I am thrilled to recommend Jurdan for a Grand Cross. Congratulations buddy! Keep up the good work!

Primary reason

Kanal has remained an active and engaged member of the Brotherhood, providing engagement via Discord, gaming, and competition placements. Since his last recognition, he has organized 16 competitions, and participated in 22 competitions, managing to score 2 Sapphire Stars, 2 Emerald Star Crescents, and 43 Clusters of Earth via gaming, all while serving in his role as Quizmaster for the last few months.

With all of this in mind, I am pleased to recommend Kanal for a Grand Cross. Thank you for what you do for the Club and for Vizsla.

Additional reasons

Kanal has continued to enjoy success as the one-man show behind the Brotherhood's trivia sessions. Trivia is a bit unusual and Kanal has slightly more to manage than the average competition organizer. In addition to the normal work of creating the competition and handling placement--both of which are bit more work than your average DB comp--Kanal has the almost unique task of managing a Discord bot's integration on the DB server. He doesn't just write the trivia 'quizzes,' he also inputs them into Quizbot and handles the convoluted bot commands required to kick them off in #trivia. Kanal is also one of the very few members on the server who sets up Discord server events for his activities, and, to my knowledge, the only one who isn't a core Council member or Consul.

In an era when most competition organizers fire and forget instead of advertising and hyping their competitions in chat, Kanal's reliability in terms of scheduling, tagging the Quizzard server role, and setting up server events has paid off. By my count, his trivia sessions have generated roughly a thousand competition participations since I last pitched in on an award for him last July.

Thank you for consistently stepping up, Kanal!
